The legacy project - my collection of writings, slides and articles.
Everything in this repo is licensed with Creative Commons Attribution to allow for reuse of the knowledge I have been collecting over three decades.
I have been at this thing called testing a while and while in full health, processing the fact that I am in fact getting older. I have a life's work of learning about software and then showing up to talk about it, and for 20 years already, I have been publishing my materials with Creative Commons Attribution -license. Publishing in the sense that people would need to ask me for what is on my drive, and frankly that is not the mess I want to leave behind in case I was not around to deal with it myself.
I framed the use of this license for two purposes 20 years ago:
- There is no better way for me to have access to my captured materials when changing jobs than having them available with a license
- Instead of finding new ways of drawing testing pyramids and V-models, perhaps reuse could allow us to create new insights into testing instead
This folder includes my past talks as they were whenever the material is shareable, in the legacy template. Currently moving through year 2004.
This folder includes my more recent talks, with accompanying articles I post on dev.to. There's only so many times one can deliver a talk, so I prefer writing the storyline down.
I have full courses on various topics. The most recent and decently packaged one is Exploratory Testing Foundations, but I work to get others packaged too.
This folder will hold guides to exercises, like how I run coverage exercise around Gilded Rose or assess Testing Hats to share versatility of tasks in testing in a team.
This folder holds my twitter and mastodon public notes that I have not yet processed into more consumable formats. I take public notes on what I learn and think, and want to have opportunity to learn from patterns over time even when I change tools for ideological reasons.
